Note(s) : "This book focuses on primary education in India and interrogates what schooling means
and does to children from weaker sections of Indian society and which values underpin
the school system. It examines whether the concept of "education for all" is just
a mechanically conceived policy target to chasing enrolment and attendance or whether
it a larger social goal and a deeper political statement about the need for attacking
entrenched social inequalities, and above all an affirmation of the idea that schooling
has a liberating potential. Drawing on original data collected in the two states of
Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal, the authors first present the multiple ways in which
social class impinges on the educational system, educational processes and educational
outcomes. In the second part of the book, issues around autonomy and accountability
are explored via an analysis of the position of teachers within the educational hierarchy,
and by looking at the various possibilities of making teachers accountable. The last
part centres on the learning process, with a particular focus on the classroom. The
conclusion includes recommendations that are related to the necessity for a larger
debate and normative framework, which includes private schools as possible partners
in the pursuing of a public good for which a public entity should take some responsibility,
and in conjuncture to that, the necessity to move from government action and responsibilities
to a broader concept of public action"-- Provided by publisher
